My life as a Tudor Woman
I was always fascinated with the Tudor dynasty. How all six of his wives were vilified unjustly. It’s taken a long time to say it, but now we can safely say that real monster was him, the whole time. Back then, feminism was witchcraft. Kings believed themselves to be divine rulers chosen by God to create a golden age and to leave their empires with their eldest son when they pass away. Despite my deep fascination of this period, I am grateful, that I do not live in that period. Wondering how my life would have been as a Tudor woman would have depended on what kind of house I lived in.

Meme Mavens
Synopsis Meme Mavens is a group chat consisting of seven friends. The TV show follows the group chats and video calls of a close-knit group who share a love for crude humor, exchanging memes, and indulging in silly truths and dares, books, anime, video games and music from the 1990s. In their downtime, they gather after work and university to unwind, laugh, and delve into discussions about rising costs, politicians, and their humorous opinions on everything. Their goal is to eventually save enough money to attend and hang out at a convention together, but the long distance and time restraints makes it hard for all seven to meet up.

The K-Pop Scandal Campaign is Officially LIVE!
I’ve been working on The K-Pop Scandal for a few years now. It started as one of my lockdown projects. This was initially named Taegong, but I felt a new title would make it stand out. Looking around at other opportunities and places to submit my work I came across this site called Publishizer. It is like a Kickstarter for books. The testimonies looked great and I could see a handful of the books became successful. If you can get enough pre-orders, your book is pitched to publishing houses.

Why I Deleted TikTok
TikTok has become a staple of the internet. People can spend hours watching videos and being exposed to random stuff. People are making thousands of money doing the most ridiculous things or going viral for the craziest things. It’s crazy how far people will go just for a few clicks and followers. Against all the current trends and fashion, I deleted TikTok on my phone. I can see how the platform has shaped people’s lives and has been a backbone for many people during lockdown. TikTok maybe no different to other platforms, but there’s something about the site that gives me the creeps.

Atlas
I’m so glad I got my stamp. Been waiting a long time to get past this border. I’ve been craving polygons. Let’s munch on Hakuna Matata. The bookshelves broke with ikigai, and the cinnamon hygge fragrance are musical tokens of Ubuntu. So come and brush this canvas with me.
